11st 4lb |
The last two of his three C&D wins were comfortable and it was no backward step when runner-up at Musselburgh (good to soft) three weeks ago; based on his consistent RPRs, this mark should be manageable now handicapping; edges preference. |

3-3 over hurdles with all those wins coming at Newcastle (2m, good-soft), easily the last twice; strong claims for last year's winning yard. |

11st 2lb |
Fairly untroubled in winning a bumper and three novice hurdles, all at 2m and showing versatility regards ground conditions; the runner-up last time hasn't franked the form but perhaps unwise to read too much into that; he looks promising. |

Unbeaten in a bumper and two novice hurdles (good to soft/heavy); beat Well Planted by 5l at Ayr and now has to give him 12lb, but he appeared to improve again when doing it so easily here last time; looks useful. |

11st 12lb |
Has a regressive profile but he posted some fair efforts at the start of this year and he's continued to drop down the weights; has had wind surgery since his last outing and he's not ruled out. |

Made all to win this race off a 5lb higher mark last year; hasn't scored since, but fair third here last time (Minella Plus well back in fourth); worth considering. |

19th Mar 2022 Good 2m 0f 46y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won three races late last year (two novice events and a handicap); hampered by a faller when third in a Catterick handicap in January, but disappointing over C&D last time; needs to bounce back. |
4/1 |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Completed a hat-trick on his handicap debut at Musselburgh in December, again making all; finished a remote third last time but suffered some severe mid-race interference and no surprise should he bounce back; trip/ground fine. |
10/1 |
3rd 1 |
26th Jan 2022 Good 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Like so many from his yard, he's having an excellent season and he completed a hat-trick on his handicap debut at Musselburgh in December, again making all; his previous win came over this C&D on good ground; more required under top weight but it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet. |

towards rear, pushed along and some headway 2f out, bit short of room under 2f out, ridden over 1f out, stayed on and went second inside final 110yds, no match for winner |

12th Mar 2022 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
The saddle slipped when pulled up early on his penultimate run and just a few days later he resumed his progress with a battling display under Archie Bellamy at Leicester (1m7f, soft); continues to creep up the handicap but he gets in here off a feather weight and he looks a good bet to give his running. |
20/1 |

26th Feb 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Cheltenham winner in December and the saddle slipped when pulled up there next time; soon back on track with an ultra-game success at Leicester (1m7f, soft) and Archie Bellamy rides again off a 4lb higher mark; solid. |
100/30 |
